[DEPRECATED] Material Converter

[Ludvik Koutny]

I just tried the script and there is one thing that could be done better. In case of converting MR Arch&Design material, if A&D material has translucency, which in MR is done as a part of refraction, refraction in CoronaMTL that is created is set up too, but translucency in Corona works different.

If it is possible, I would add some checking mechanism, and in case translucency in A&D material would be enabled, converted CoronaMTL would always have refraction level set to 0.

aaah, didn't know that. I will check this - shouldn't be a problem to add that :)

If you want to do it correctly so user doesn't need to fix materials manually at all, then IF translucency is active THEN you should translate refraction (transparency) value of Arch&Design material to translucency fraction value. If translucency in A&D is disabled, then you translate refraction (refraction is called transparency in A&D material) value to refraction level in CoronaMTL.

Hope it helps :)

I created an image explaining how to properly convert translucent Arch&Design materials so we don't have to fix them manually. In case A&D material doesn't have translucency enabled, then proceed usual way and convert transparency to refraction level. Behavior described on image should occur only if source A&D material has translucency enabled. :)

HI Deadclown,

Whats the latest version of the script ?

It would be a good idea to have the latest script in the first post.
hmm just had a look, your not the first post in this thread.

cheers
